Hey, congrats Kitsune!! Don't forget to post pictures of the wedding (and before anyone makes the obvious conclusion, the honeymoon too...)

Congratulations, man.

Congratulations to eveybody who is going to marry, and hope those who wrote they were going to are doing fine now!

just be sure you know the person you're going to marry... I live with my boyfriend, we LIVE togheter the big way (it's two years now), he asked the big question and I answered yes, and some days ago I just discovered by chance he is not the person I knew, everybody knew, everybody trusted and loved and believed the perfect guy... he isn't!

I still don't know what to do, how to free myself. he really is considered a great person, I loved him, I respected him adn admired him, and he is a liar...

a friend of mine discovered her husband lied for years (false college degree, false job, false everything) after 10 years and 2 children... she is not stupid, absolutely isn't, but hey! who checks his love's curriculum???

Me.

Welcome to the Cellar, bani. :D
Care to tell us what he lied about?

Knowing what you know, between now and the fall, you'll probably 'naturally grow apart'. But at least you'll be prepared for it and can plan your future and finances accordingly. Best of luck getting your head together.

btw, his best friend is male, I assume?

Female, but I think trustable! (if anyone can be, I should say now!)

Thanks for the answer and support, I'll let you know!

as far as the ring goes, kits....i didn't think it was a big deal....but then i lost mine in a creek.....and i was bummed. seriously.

Congrats, Kitsune! And hey, no pressure on setting a date...

MB and I haven't set a date yet, either.

I think we've been engaged for going on five years now. :lol:

Just saw this thread. Yeah!! Congratulations to you both.

Honestly, the first question that came to my mind is how are you going to photograph your own wedding? I can't imagine many who will be able to do you and your bride-to-be the justice that you could...

I think the ring is supposed keep blood from draining back out of the wiener.

Wedding photography is the worst of the worst. I've shot three weddings and will never consider doing it ever again. I can't believe I actually considered doing it as a side job even with the stress, unpredictability, and expectations of the families. All it took was for my D70 to vomit up a memory error during the last reception to make me put the camera down and apologize to it for ever trying to use it to make money. (I managed to recover the images, but it was a really close call.)

So, after having experienced that kind of stress in a black suit under the heat of a Florida sun at an outdoor wedding while surrounded by belligerent drunks demanding their picture be taken as they mock-grabbed the bride's ass and lifted their kilts to dangle their nuts for the camera means I'll be elated with whatever I get back from the photographer I hire. The job sucks and I'll be content with whatever the poor photog manages to pull out of the set.

Oh, and so far the ring seems to make family members call much more frequently than they did before the proposal and offer heaping amounts of advice on how to plan and prepare. No one is responding to this the way we expected them to and a few of them are getting a little weird about it...

Well congrats on the wedding. Since you asked I must say that to be wed isn't that important as finding someone you can be compatible with. Someone you can be a companion with where integrity and truth is formost.

The ring is a symbol but I personally don't think a diamond is important.

I always thought the ring came into fashion because branding hurts!:p

Just got married on June 23rd. :) So far, nothing has really changed, except that there's no wedding planning to do anymore, but lots of cleaning up and writing thank-you notes.
